Nancy Ockendon

Research Affiliate

Nancy’s work with CSER involved horizon scanning for risks, and the use of expert assessment to prioritise possible threats.

She also works in the Department of Zoology, looking at the use of evidence in conservation practice and policy, as well as running an annual horizon scan of environmental issues. Prior to this Nancy had roles in several conservation NGOs, with a recent focus on the impact and mechanisms by which environmental changes affect biodiversity.

The Centre for the Study of Existential Risk is an interdisciplinary research centre at CRASSH within the University of Cambridge dedicated to the study and mitigation of risks that could lead to human extinction or civilisational collapse.
